Hi,
I would like to know more about the packaging project-it's current state and what exactly remains to be done.
I was looking at the previous year's ideas page and there was no mention of the difficulty of the project. Could I know which projects would be good for someone with intermediate programming skills?
Additionally, I am looking to participate in this year's GSoC program. So, would MariaDB be applying?
Colin already answered this well. GSoC is right now not active. If you have some minor contributions before the GSoC applications open, you'll have a better chance of getting chosen, so I recommend browsing the issue trackers and take on something that looks easy and you feel comfortable to start with.
From the Debian issues, I think this would be a good one to start with: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=809022
If you are more interested in programming (and less about packaging and systems engineering) take a look at the links Colin sent about MaraiDB tasks.
